Author retrieve row number
Pascal Tufenkji

Hi,



Can I retrieve the row number in a select statement?

For example : if I have the following table "foo"



col1 | col2

-----+-----

a | x

b | y

c | z





select ?? as row_number, col1, col2 from foo;



I should obtain the following result :



row_number | col1 | col2

-----------+------+-----

1 | a | x

2 | b | y

3 | c | z





Thank you

Pascal
